#20 Character limit on new Notes?

[Nowhere Man]

Working on a plugin for syncing the Notes soup. When I try
to create a new Note on the newton it fails and hangs the
sync if the note is more than ~450 characters long. To the
best of my recolection, this problem did not exist in nSync
0.3k.

I'm using GetRoot().paperroll:MakeTextNote() to create the
notes on the Newton.

So there's a ~450 character limit when you run -[Newton
executeScript:]? Does the limit only apply for setting data via a
script, and not getting it via -[Newton getNextRecord]? Or does it
apply to both?

It only seems to happen with executeScript.
getNextRecord works fine with longer notes.

One change that I was thinking of making to the API is to allow
transfer of records in both directions via binary, instead of using
ExecuteScript to transfer records to the Newton. This would seem
to address this issue. Was thinking of a setNextRecord method to
correspond to the getNextRecord method.

That sounds very promising. a method that takes an NSDictionary
as an argument and adds it as a record to the current soup would
be very nice. The way things work right now, it is _much_ easier
to get information out of the Newton than to put it in.
